Waldek Pupar is here with a very special treat for you all.  This is beautiful 1/72 Revell P-51B Mustang in a very compilcated camo scheme and Swiss Air Force markings.  The Swiss Air Force flew a variety of aircraft and all of them look fantastic in the camo and red and white national markings.

Dragan Cvetic is here to mark the Israel Independence Day with his flawless looking 1/72 Xtrakit Gloster Meteor F.8.  Dragan upgraded the seatbelts, gun sight in the cockpit and added a new pitot tube to bring his model up to his usual high standards.  I quite enjoyed seeing his Meteor on ARC.

Dietmar Carstensen is here with a masterpiece.  This is his 1/72 Revell Fairey Seafox with a large amount of scratchbuilt detailing to improve this older kit.

Jim Court has a passion for Canadian float planes and today he joins us with his 1/48 Revell/ICM Beech 18.  Jim combined aftermarket items and other parts including scratchbuilt parts.  The markings are from some aftermarket decals to create this classic float plane.  The end result is one very cool looking float plane.
Shawn “phantom” Weiler had a devil of a time with his 1/72 Mach 2 CC-117 Falcon.  The kits turned out to be quite the challenge, but Shawn motored on and got these two beauties finished to a very high quality.  I quite like the choice of paint schemes.

Michael Phillips is here with his award winning 1/48 Tamiya F-16C Aggressor - Blizzard of 69.  Michael enhanced the cockpit with an Aires cockpit set and gave it a very special winter camo with markings from an aftermarket decal sheet.  I love what he used for the static dissipators...tooth brush bristles.....simply brilliant.  She is a beauty Michael and I can see why it was awarded 1st place.
Jens Gerber is here with his 1/48 Great Wall Hobby Fw 189 A1 Ski Version finished in winter camo.  The cockpit has a large canopy that is partly opened, so Jens added Eduard photo etch to the cockpit to further improve the cockpit detail.  Since many places still have snow at the moment, this winter camo makes plenty of sense.  Jens has given his model a beautifully weathered and tired looking winter camo.

Huberlu is here with a first on ARC today.  This is his 1/48 Hi-Tech Voisin 10 Ca2, which is the 1st of this aircraft type on ARC.   Huberlu did plenty of extra scratchbuilding to his WWI bi-plane to give it an exceptional level of detail.  This is one very delicate looking model and it is properly displayed in a wonderful diorama setting with gas cans and a pilot figure.  Excellent work Huberlu.
Klaasjan Schuuring is here with a real classic ERTL kit.  This is his 1/48 Italeri Lockheed Martin ES-3A Shadow in all it's glory and upgraded with plenty of Eduard photo etch.  Klaasjan used pre-shading to give his USN jet a more realistic look and the finished model does look first class.  Yet more proof that you can build a fine looking model if you give these older kits a bit of love and patience.

Athanasopoulos Panagiotis joins us from Greece today with his beautifully finished 1/48 Kinetic NF-5A Freedom Fighter HAF.  Athanasopoulos was impressed with the Kinetic kit and added further scratchbuilt detail to the cockpit and then finished his Hellenic jet in Greek camo and Hellenic Air Force markings.  I love the way it looks.

Osvaldo Carrasco joins us from Chile with his very attractive 1/48 HobbyBoss Embraer 314 Super Tucano.  The 4 colour camo scheme on this trainer looks excellent.  Beautiful work Osvaldo.
Gerson Garcia has done a marvelous job building and finishing his 1/48 Revell Eurofighter (EF 2000) Typhoon.  Gerson chose Spanish markings to finish his Typhoon.

Paolo Yuen begins today with his exceptional 1/72 Hasegawa Su-33.  Paolo added a resin cockpit and exhaust and nose cone to improve the detail and accuracy of his Flanker.  Paolo's detailing is flawless and he further added dropped flaps before finishing his jet in Russian markings with a stunning camo scheme with just the perfect amount of weathering.
Bob Leonard is here with a unique looking design.  This is his 1/72 Amodel P.180 Avanti, which is a twin engined pusher aircraft in Italian Coast Guard markings.  Bob found this to be a limited run kit needing a bit of love to complete it into the lovely model in Bob's photos.  The red and white Servizio Aereo della Guardia Costiera paint scheme works very well with this unique looking aircraft.  I love the look of it.
Javier Johnson did quite a bit of work to create an accurate Ecuadorian Cheetah C.  This is his 1/48 Kinetic/Scaleworx Cheetah C using added modifications thanks to Scaleworx to get all the finer details correct.  Javier then used his skills to give his Cheetah a carefully applied weathering job.  It's good to see this Ecuadorian on ARC.

Yvan Vansteenkiste joins us from Belgium with his latest model.  This is his 1/48 MiG-29AS with digi camo using decals from KOPRO.  This is a Ukrainian MiG and the digital camo scheme looks excellent with all it's fine detail.  Yvan dressed up the cockpit with photoetch from Eduard.
Mike Muth joins us with his Triplane figher from WW1.  This is his 1/32 Wingnut Wings Sopwith Triplane that suffered a nasty crash and was rebuilt by Mike markings that come with some very interesting history that Mike explains in his article.  The Wing Nut Wing model kits set a whole new standard and Mike's work makes this kit shine in all it's glory.  It's a treat to see this Triplane on ARC.
Straker65 has done an outstanding job detailing and weathering his 1/72 Revell MiG-21 F-13.  Straker65 used resin and photo etch aftermarket items from Aires,  Quickboost, Pavla and Eduard to detail his MiG to a very high level.  Then it was finished with the perfect amount of weathering.
Thomas Brückelt is here with another model in his Lippisch P.01 series here on ARC.  This is his scratchbuilt 1/72 Lippisch P.01-117 that was partly made with a 3D printer and good old fashioned scratchbuilding.  This was an actual proposal that never made it into production.

Here's a product article for the 1/32 Dassault Mirage III Pitot Tube from Master.  This detail set is designed for the Italeri kit.

Here's a product article for the 1/144 C-54/DC-4 Skymaster Landing Gear from Scale Aircraft Conversions.  This detail set is designed for the Minicraft kit.

Gianni Cassi joins us today with his 9th article on ARC.  This is his highly detailed 1/32 Zoukei Mura Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden.  This quite the model with added Eduard photo etch and an amazing amount of rivet work was added to this big WW2 Japanese fighter.  I love the display base.
Dragan Cvetic had quite the busy time closing up all the doors on his impressive 1/144 Zvezda IL-76.  Dragan has done a flawless job finishing this IL-76 and I love the look of the finished model.  He darkened the panel lines to add further detail with very good results.
Mark L. Rossmann is here with a historic MiG-15.  This is his 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-15bis with a resin cockpit and finished as the Polish MiG-15 flown to the west by a defector.  Mark got the bare metal finish on his MiG looking just right.  Beautiful work Mark.

Dan Stern is a fan of Silly Week and I'm proud to feature his first model on the ARC home page today.  This is his Victory at Echo Base featuring a soccer game using a large snow ball to help Lord Vaders troops relax.  Read Dan's article for the full back story.  Welcome to the ARC homepage Dan...it's great to see your work.

Kees Kuyper joins us today with his JetJu-88.  This combines the wings and jet engines of the B-57 Canberra with the fuselage of the Ju-88 to create this Luft '46 jet.  This one looks quite realistic.  Nicely done Kees.

George Oh joins us from Australia this Silly Week with his very funny The Eggstraterrestrials diorama.  Of course this puts a whole new slant on the question "What came first the chicken or the egg?"  It seems chickens are space aliens.
Kees Kuyper has pulled together a very cool project for Silly Week.  This is his Messerschmitt Seaplane with extra thought put into the smaller details.  This does look like it would be a rear float plane.
Carmel J. Attard is here with his Moynet Jupiter 360-6 in Canadian markings.  Carmel scratchbuilt this twin engined model and then finished it in What-if Canadian markings with a stellar weathering job.  It looks quite realistic.
Kees Kuyper is here today with his what-if 1/72 United Nations Osprey “white angel”.  Kees has included a photos that shows his photography set up, which is very cool to see.  I love the Osprey Kees.

Kees Kuyper has created one of the best looking gliders I have ever seen.  This is his 1/32 Duodiscus glider "The Tion" looking very sleek.  I love the look of it and the Dutch civilian markings.
Dave 'The Rat' Bailey is here with his second model for Silly Week.  This is his Indonesian Breguet Alize made from a Heller kit and what does Dave think of the kit......well you REALLY need to read his article for his comical opinion.  Good one Dave.
Kees Kuyper is here with a very creative what-if design.  This is his 1/72 Hobbyboss Bell-Fokker D-24 fantasy, which is a twin tail pusher fighter.  She's wearing Dutch markings and looks pretty good..
SteelWolf is here with a massive tank that never actually saw battle.  This is the 1/144 TAKOM Landkreuzer P1000 Ratte and it is like a small battleship of the land.  A very cool article and model and well worth checking out.

Kees Kuyper gets today started with 2 of his very creative designs for the 1/72 Revell Osprey "less complex".  One is an America bird and the other is a Dutch Osprey.  Read his article and check out his photos....I think his designs are loaded with very creative and realistic looking engineering.
Oxiel Carrizo has put quite a bit of effort into improving the detail on his F-16 Viper eggplane.  This F-16 is wearing Chilean markings and has quite a bit of scratchbuilt work done to it to make it more accurate and detail rich.  I love the in-flight photos of it.  
Kees Kuyper has created a very cool looking 1/72 Hobbyboss Harvard/Texan on floats.  This is a Search and Rescue float plane of the Dutch Navy.  The floats came from a different kit but do seem to fit the Harvard/Texan very well.
Dragan Cvetic is here with a classic tank.  This is his 1/35 Tamiya T-55A Yugoslav Peoples Army with a flawless weathering job giving quite the realistic look.  I do admire the job he did on this piece of armor.

Kees Kuyper is here with a very funny what-if model.  This is his Mitsubishi Dinahsaurus, which is a Mitsubishi Dinah with the head of a dinosaur for the nose of the aircraft.  Kees explains this secret plane and how it was used during WW2.  I love it.
Ryan Gay joins us from Switzerland with his 3rd model on ARC.  This is his 1/24 Revell 1968 VW Käfer finished as a dirty daily driver complete with Swiss plates.  We all have memories of the early 70's VW Bug and it is a treat to see this one on ARC today.  Very nicely done Ryan.
James Maloney got creative with the digital camo on his "What if" Wolferine.  It's funny, but this little aircraft looks quite plausible.  Thanks for sharing James.
Kees Kuyper is here not with an aircraft....but a really fast ground vehicle.  This is his Lockheed Streetfighter of the U.S. Army.  Read his article for the full story.  This is a very creative concept.

Kees Kuyper gets Silly Week 2018 off to a fantastic start with his very creative 1/32 Revell Duodiscus glider “Flying Orange”.  Kees is a master kit basher and this beauty comes direct from his amazing design studio.
Dave 'The Rat' Bailey is an old time regular on the ARC Silly Week each January and I'm proud and excited to see him back here in 2018.  This is his North American T-6 Weta divebomber...think "baby dauntless" flown by Kiwi's and you are on the right track.  Read Dave's full story for the details
Bill Arnold is another regular to Silly Week.  He has a passion for egg planes and other such models.  This is his Meng Tiger 1 in true Egg style.  Bill shaded it and built it to the exacting standards you would expect on a model rich in accuracy and detail...and I admire that about Bill.  Click the link at the bottom of his article to see all of his models on ARC...you will not be disappointed.
Kees Kuyper has done some crazy kit bashing with his Douglas DC-3 and a half Superdakota.  Look carefully and you will see a bit of Fw 200 in this model along with a Dc-3 with a nose wheel and plenty of wonderful wild ideas.  Oddly enough...this reminds me of a Connie.
